Anthropomorphic Amphora #3

Showcasing a sinuous profile in the shape of a slender amphora, this stunning terracotta design is handcrafted and molded by hand on a lathe. Its characteristic silhouette is the result of a deft process – called “ingobbio” in Italian pottery – where several layers of liquid clay overlap enveloping the terracotta base before getting abrased. The anthropomorphic lines and proportions evoked in this design contribute to its intriguing artistic value.
